Broad beans, also known as Fava Beans or Avarekai, are plump green legumes with a slightly nutty and earthy flavor. They have a tender texture when cooked and are commonly used in South Indian and global cuisines.
Rich in protein, dietary fiber, vitamins (especially folate and vitamin K), and minerals like iron and magnesium, broad beans support digestion, boost energy, and help maintain healthy blood and bones.
They can be used in curries, stir-fries, soups, or even as a steamed snack, adding both nutrition and flavor to meals.
